Define $f (n) = n + 1$ if $n = p^k > 1$ is a power of a prime number, and $f (n) =p_1^{k_1}+... + p_r^{k_r}$ for natural numbers $n = p_1^{k_1}... p_r^{k_r}$ ($r > 1, k_i > 0$). Given $m > 1$, we construct the sequence $a_0 = m, a_{j+1} = f (a_j)$ for $j \ge 0$ and denote by $g(m)$ the smallest term in this sequence. For each $m > 1$, determine $g(m)$.

Let $n$ and $m$ be positive integers in the range $[1, 10^{10}]$. Let $R$ be the rectangle with corners at $(0, 0), (n, 0), (n, m), (0, m)$ in the coordinate plane. A simple non-self-intersecting quadrilateral with vertices at integer coordinates is called [i]far-reaching[/i] if each of its vertices lie on or inside $R$, but each side of $R$ contains at least one vertex of the quadrilateral. Show that there is a far-reaching quadrilateral with area at most $10^6$.

Give the answer about the following propositions $(p),\ (q)$ whether they are true or not. If the answer is true, then give the proof and if the answer is false, then give the proof by giving the counter example.
$(p)$ If we can form a triangle such that one of inner angles of the triangle is $60^\circ$ by choosing 3 points from the vertices of a regular $n$-polygon, then $n$ is a multiple of 3.
$(q)$ In $\triangle{ABC},\ \triangle{ABD}$, if $AC<AD$ and $BC<BD$, then $\angle{C}>\angle{D}$.

Let $(a_1, a_2,\ldots , a_n)$ be a permutation of $1, 2, \ldots , n,$ where $n \geq 2.$ For each $k = 1, \ldots , n$, we know that $a_k$ apples are placed at the point $k$ on the real axis. Children named $A,B,C$ are assigned respective points $x_A, x_B, x_C \in \{1, \ldots , n\}.$ For each $k,$ the children whose points are closest to $ k$ divide $a_k$ apples equally among themselves. We call $(x_A, x_B, x_C)$ a [i]stable configuration[/i] if no child’s total share can be increased by assigning a new point to this child and not changing the points of the other two. Determine the values of $n$ for which a stable configuration exists for some distribution $(a_1, \ldots, a_n)$ of the apples.

A computer science teacher has asked his students to write a program that, given a list of $n$ numbers $a_1, a_2, ..., a_n$, calculates the list $b_1, b_2, ..., b_n$ where $b_k$ is the number of times the number $a_k$ appears in the list. So, for example, for the list $1,2,3,1$, the program returns the list $2,1,1,2$.
Next, the teacher asked Alexandre to run the program for a list of $2025$ numbers. Then he asked him to apply the program to the resulting list, and so on, until a number greater than or equal to $k$ appears in the list. Find the largest value of $k$ for which, whatever the initial list of $2025$ positive integers $a_1, a_2, ..., a_{2025}$, it is possible for Alexander to do what the teacher asked him to do.
